Tho policy of the present ndrniiiistratinn on llio subject of River and Harbor improvements was clearly foreshadowed by tbe President in his Into message tit Congress. Indeed the intelligent public have hud no room to donbt what was llio purpose ol'n certain elms of politicians, calling themselves " Democratic," fur year past. A now impulse in just now given to it by the publication of a letter from Seuntor Doughs of Illinoi-, to the Governor of that State. We Hud it in the Wathington Union of tho 18th iuat., whose editor endorses it by declaring it "one of tbe most important documents ihfit have inniiod from any of our statesmen for many years." The reason fur tin opinion certainly does not lie in the nnvolty of tbe doctrine hr.iaihed by Senator ; nor can it hejustifi-.'d by tho great ability dilplayt-d in staling Ilia case, nor yet by nny newlighl shed upon the subject. President P-dk exhausted the question long since without convincing 1I10 judgment of tho obdurate West, an In beeiifbnwn by sobM-qiiotit legislation. Anil nidus wenre permitted to trace loaie connexion between this " important document " and Ibo si'H-! i'i,l(iliiii of Iho Union editor when he sayr " It will In' remembered by our readers lhat wo g-ivo ; Ihis subject nn elaboralo investigation some mouths much, mid wo nro highly gratified In Hud that our ron-::iiiHia nrnord ao entirely widi tbe views if I ho du-tinauished lllitini Senator" :we mutt give it.

" 1 Whether the poliry hfrelol'oro purnued has proven "worse thm a ftiiure," Is not tilt question now If) be decided by Cong reus and the People of the West. The qtii'stinn bo confidently presented by tho Senntor is, whether the course now recommended the West ta one they ought to adopt. Wo waivo all questions ol mnsiitiilionality. As to the correctness of the policy heretofore pursued, it is enough for u to knu-v that it whs nne adopted by the first Congee lliat nsiembk-d under llio connlittitioii, whoso member would be quite n likely to uudorat iud the meaning of its founder as Mr. Dotiglna; aitice which time it lm received the support and sanction of the ablest minds lliat lime ndorned tho connril of the nation. Its failure therefore can have nothing to do with its constituti onality. We place the dm mil of tho Weston ground which no statesman of nny reptile has dared to qncMion, ai.d which certainly no lineal ion of the IVett will repudiato to wit, the Ukdinancs of '87.

We will not clinrge this, but wo will quotti fmm the Ordinance for his information, mid for tho information of every true son of the West. With litem it rest whether their just right under it nro to bo frittered away by corrupt (fictional or party legislation, or not. K.XTHACr FROM THK OttW N ANC K OK '87.

Treasurer Bkeslin in response to a resolution of the House of Representative, has made a Report, and the BBine is In print, showing that between the 14th day or November nnd the lu'tb day of January, fnet he had paid out of the Treasury, on account of draft from the Board of Public Work. ONE HUNDRED AND SEVKN THOUSAND.

In 18-M,the competition of the world with the man-ufhcturiug industry nf England compelled her to change IW re von tie policy. A very oouaidurnblo por tion nt revenue had previously been drawn, directly and indirectly, from labor nnd its products; but such were tho inroad made upon market for British manufacture in distant countries, that Sir Ron hut Pkki. consented to remodel the tariff, reducing the duties on every article that was usud in the processes of man. utacturiiig industry, or to which valuo was added by British labor, in many instance permitting their im portation duty free. This had become noceatiry in order to retain yet a little longer tho monopoly (hat Great Britain had enjoyed in the markets of the world. This was indirect protection. But it did not stop here The duties on all kinds of provision were reduced also, for the artizati must bo fed, Htid the price of provision enter Into tho cost of manufactures as well a raw material ntid labor. This wa protection in the ri-tit Itroction. Had our Congress, in 1840, when remod eling the tart II, kept in view the principle carried out in the British tarilVof '4 1, and subsequently extended, our laborers and mauufmiurera need bavo asked 110 stronger protection; but i istend of improving by the example let thoto by England, they, in a largo number of instaticns, look an opposite course, making the luty on the raw material to by worked up heavier than the duty en the article ni ittufictured therefrom. This was bidding a bounty for foreign labor. Tile Pretich fiavernmsjit, which, ever since the lime of tho Milan nud Berlin dec roes under iho fireat Em peror, has always carried the protective system to extremes, is now engaged in taking oil' duties on raw materials, thus proliting by the wisdom of her neighbor. The restrictiomheretoforo imposed on row cotton imported into Franco, admitting it for re exporta tion only, have been nlre oly removed ; and it is now aid tint the government is about to extend the princi plea of free Irado lo nil material ntt-d in 111 arnifae- tn res We rejuice in tin-, and hope llie example will not be lost on our own government. In addition, it seems tbe French government is bestowing attention on Ibe cultivation of cotton in Algeria, and tho hope is entertained that in a few year France will grow on her own soil, cotton enough for her own manufacturing want.

(iravo rumor of misconduct or bad management on (lie part ol thu Board of Public Works having been bruited about, a resolution was passed list week, calling for information. The resolution asked the St ito Treasurer for the nniount of money drawn by the Board since they closed iheir fiscal year on the 1 5th Novum her. On Tuesdny, die Treasurer made a report, I'rotn which it seems that the enormous sum ot one hun dreil and nven thoutand three hundred and twenty fire dot-tan and twenty -nine ctntt tmvo be drawn by this Hoard since that time. Tin amount i no' included in the $140,87 I of exptMHt for the past year, reported by the Board. Mr. Van Hook nud Mr. McKmizie defended llm Board, nnd contended 1 lint every dollar would be satisfactorily accounted tor. No body denied Ibis, but all this money ntid much more had been drawn from the treamry without authority ol law, ns the appropriation fif last year bad long since been exhausted.
